The Leader

Her tender little fingers
Around my fingers curl
As hand in hand I walk beside
My precious little girl.
Her feet will walk where mine do
She trusts in every stride
That I know where we’re headed too
With each path I decide.
And just where will I lead her?
Where will I place her feet,
While walking through the roads of life
Down any given street?
My steps will lead us somewhere
Each one directs our way
For where I go she follows me
As I walk day by day.
And when I might start thinking
I’m walking on my own
That my steps are for my feet
And my journey is alone,
Remember little footsteps
Don’t know now where to be
And on the path I walk along
She’ll follow after me.
